· Reorganized all the recipe shops. The goals are both to make room for the recently added items and more importantly to organize them in a manner that makes guessing correctly where an item is an easy task for both existing and new players. I know none of us like to relearn item layouts, but this is a good thing to do for the long run.
There are 6 recipe shops now in the following order:
· Gateway Relics: Misc items that are primarily early game upgrades
· Supportive Vestments: Various support style items that you get for your team
· Arcane Sanctum: Castable or spell heavy themed items
· Protectorate: Has mainly defensive/survival style items
· Enchanted Artificats: Mostly orb effect items (with the exception of Yasha)
· Ancient Weaponry: All other weapon items.
· Note: I'm aware that Aegis is no longer needed in the shops, but I'm keeping it there until we need the space to help new users be aware of its existance through Roshan.
Modes and Commands:
· Added a new game mode -cd (-CaptainsDraft)
· Added a new game mode -rs (-randomside) to randomize which side your team starts in. This does not shuffle the players. It just places a team randomly as either Sentinel or Scourge.
· Added -random Intelligence/Strength/Agility. It gives you 100 less bonus gold than the 250 bonus gold the regular -random gives you.
· Added a new -tips system.If you enter the command, the game will give you 5 pointers (at various stages in the game) that are unique to each hero to help you get the basics down. These are not intended to imply guideliens on how to play a hero, but rather as simple tips if you are new with that hero. These are a work in progress.
· Added -water random
· -water now supports any color combinations using -water r g b format
· You can now change the terrain using -terrain snow on a per user basis. It is no longer a game mode. The "-terrain" or "-terrain default" command reverts the terrain to its normal state. Some of the other terrain modes you guys have emailed me about are still being worked on. I disabled them from this version because of some glitches they cause that haven't been fixed yet. I will work on them more in the future if you guys want them.
· Added -disablehelp to Force Staff
· Added a command to display bonus gold received from Goblins Greed (-gg)
· Added -aa (Arrow Accuracy) for Elune's Arrow hit percentages
· -disablehelp now prevents items from being picked up by non-owners from the fountain area
· -oi is turned on by default in observer games. Using -oi will disable it instead.
· Added a sub command to -om that disables neutral spawns
· Added a player only command "rollhero" or "-rh" to randomly display a heroname. This has no actual functional effect in the game, just a small easy command that some players wanted for their play groups.
· AFK detection no longer considers a player to be AFK during the drafting phases of some game modes
· Switch is disabled by default. Added a new temporary game mode -switchon (-so). Haven't developed a new replacement system for switch yet. There are a few ideas I experimented with but nothing final yet. Based on the feedback I've gotten, I think the best thing to do is to disable it by default and allow a mode for it until a more suitable usage of it can be implemented.
· Improved the text presentation of -switch a little bit so the text is less intrusive
Gameplay and Performance:
· Added a few new terrain paths; here are the rough areas that a change has been done in

· To the right of the second top Sentinel tower
· Added a new tree to the Scourge jungle
· In the area between the pair of Scourge neutrals near the powerup
· Range rax no longer has extra regeneration
· Added a new regeneration armor mechanism for towers and rax.
· - The "regen armor" is stripped away whenever there are nearby creeps (or corpses). It gets restored once 15 seconds elapse without a nearby unit.
· - If a tower or rax takes damage without the regen armor, that life lost can never be naturally regenerated. If it does have the regen armor, then it will regenerate at a rate of 40hp/seconds and take only 25% damage from illusions.
· - Flagged areas are 1) All places considered in or near base 2) second Top Tower 3) second Mid Tower 4) second Bot Tower.
· Increased the non-splitting portion of the xp/gold from 8/level xp & 40 gold to 12*level xp & 30+5*level
· The non-splitting xp/gold bonuses are now doubled for EM like the rest of the xp/bounty system is
· Changed the damage type of the first tower to be Siege like the rest of the towers. Adjusted the damage table to keep the damage creeps take in the laning phase unchanged.
· Tower does not regenerate from allied damage (when trying to deny)
Cosmetic and Misc:
· Added two new hero kill sounds for 4x and 5x kills

· Calls upon the spirit of his ancestors to join him in an earth-shattering echo, rendering nearby foes unconcious. The spirit and Tauren Chieftain both deal 80 damage in the area, the Spirit dealing magical damage and the physical form dealing physical damage. Unconscious enemies will wake if they get hit. If the spirit is seperated from you, it will still perform its part of the spell.
· If you damage a knocked out unit, it no longer becomes knocked out/immobile.
· There is a spirit version of you doing the stomp animation with you at the same time (you can see it as well). You deal physical damage and it deals magical damage.

· AOE: 500
· Knockout duration: 2/3/4/5 seconds
· Manacost: 100/115/130/145

· Only player based damage can wake heroes. Damage dealt during a brief period after the stomp will not awaken heroes (0.65)
Ancestral Spirit:
· The Tauren Chieftain sends forth his guardian ancestor to bring ruin upon his foes. While seperate from the Chieftain, the spirit will mimic his movement and damage any unit it passes through. When it rejoins the Chieftain, it grants him bonus damage and movement speed for each enemy it has struck.

· Percentage nullification: 25%/50%/75%/100%

Ultimate - Earth Splitter:
· Using his mighty axe, the Tauren Chieften rends the very earth itself, sending a jagged crack under the feet of his enemies. After several seconds the earth implodes, sending his foes tumbling inwards. Any unit caught in the implosion will take damage based on their maximum life and have their speed slowed for a short time. Implodes after 3 seconds. Deals 35% of a unit's maximum HP.
· Cast Range: 1600
· Travel speed: 600 ms
· Delay after maturity: 0.5 seconds
· AOE: 350
· Damage: 35% of each unit's maximum HP (half magical, half physical)
· Slow Amount: 30/40/50%

· Manacost: 175
· Example: You target a point, from where you are towards 1200 in the angle you click on, the split starts growing.
· The split grows at 600 ms, so it takes 2 seconds to reach the end.
· After it reaches the end, it plays an animation preparing for the implosion for 0.5 seconds and then it pulls everyone in and does the dmg/maim.
